is there any plan to give players a hot seat mode that would allow solitaire play off line? wargaming is largely a solitary pursuit and this must be the first wargame i've played without one (i'm not interested in playing the computer). it's especially important when testing scenarios and studying historical situations.

Currently there are no plans for adding a hotseat mode - other than the one that already exists, via the MP server.

what is the logic of not offering a hot seat mode, something that is pretty much standard in wargames?

at least make it bearable by turning off replays. having to sit through replays of your own moves is a ridiculous waste of time.

I agree. Future games in the series, using the ARCHON engine, should have traditional hotseat mode. Hopefully it will find its way into the existing games at some point.

ok good to know. I would have done more scenarios if I could test them in a less time consuming fashion.
